EVER since he rose to the scene back in 2005, John Legend’s artistry has always been tied to the sounds of love. While there are a few exceptions here and there, most of his discography consists of some of the best contemporary love songs.
His smash hits Green Light and All of Me are prime examples. But the singer is taking things up a notch in his latest studio album, Legend. Contrary to his previous projects, Legend marks a shift in his career and approach to his craft.
For the first time, Legend celebrates his affinity for love through the record’s 24 songs and multiple exciting collaborations. Speaking at a recent regional press conference, the singer delved into the details and his experience coming up with the record.
How does it feel to finally be able to share the album with everybody?
“I am so grateful for the response that we are getting. We are getting so much love from people all around the world. And I feel like they are connecting with the songs and with the intention behind the songs.
“And it is always fun to find out which ones are their favourites, and which songs they are really connecting to the most. So, it is nice to have it out in the world.
“I felt like I had a secret I was keeping from the world for too long. And I wanted to let the secret out and now it is out. The music is out!”
